Newspapers published during the era of the American Revolution contributed to the perpetuation of slavery. Advertised 250 years ago today: “WENT. away ... a young mulatto woman, called Moll or Polly.” Hiding with "a negro man ... called Paul." (Maryland Gazette 11/17/1774)

NTT faculty teach over 60% of all undergrad courses at the university. students have told me that they have gone their entire first year without being taught by a single tenure-track professor. if the university wants to maintain its ivy+ reputation, it needs to INVEST in US.

Don’t let Imposter fears get in the way and steal the joy of fully celebrating each milestone reached. Acknowledge your accomplishments—you deserve it.

Yes, my salary is only $57k, but the triumphant feeling I get when updating a museum record from "Pottery Fragment, Egyptian" to "Fragment of Faience Cosmetics Container Inscribed with Name of Nefertiti, c. 1350 BC, excavated at Amarna (Maru Aten)" is genuinely priceless. 😌

Academia is applying for a job, imagining the rest of your life in that job, then being immediately rejected from that job

Congratulations on your completion of a PhD at our university - you are now a valued member of our academic family. Your email and library access will terminate in 11 minutes.

Active voice: “I didn’t get the job” Passive voice: “the job wasn’t given to me” LinkedIn voice: “thrilled to announce that I’m now maximising my grindset free of the distraction of employment”

I just don’t understand the purpose of publicly dragging people and their work down, especially when it’s not warranted. It’s tough enough in academia these days. Kindness matters.

People will reject you on this journey. Don’t let it stop you.

It's alarming that another scholar used my dissertation proposal as an abstract for a grant award. Though my thesis moved beyond the proposal, how do we protect our work, especially when grad students and junior scholars are repeatedly advised to share our ideas and works?

I just wanted to take a minute to say that to anyone with a PhD, or anyone starting a PhD, you should be so proud of yourself and how far you’ve come.


Carol Fernandez DeGrasse is ABD Reposted

It’s sad how many people don’t celebrate their colleagues in academia.

Normalize PhD students being proud of themselves. #PhDVoice @PostdocVoice

The last Residential School closed in 1996. The TV sitcom “Friends” premiered in 1994. Don’t let them tell you it’s ancient history.
